> 3 kits worth of remaining parts to you!
husafreak, hey thanks man, LOL oh well, no you keep them and get that sucker flying  .
Yes, the 'one way' shifting is a new one to me also. In case your not aware the stock X-3D has two stacked one way bearings which can often sit crooked and contribute to main gear wobble. The other wobble/vibe factor I recently found can be 2 main bearing centre ring slop on the shaft, to reduce, smear a CA film on the shaft areas and scrape off with a spare mast collar to take make a tighter bearing fit reducing the slop.
Frequent crashing would test anyone's patients with the setup time required to get that near perfect vibe free heli back in the air   . Conical pinion slip, loose shaft collar when inverted, slipping grub screws and discovering broken servo gears in the next flight we can do without. Throwing money at brand new parts would save me some time but I'm stubborn for flying on a shoe string budget and will recycle all parts until they absolutely need replacement.
I still often fly a brushed motor BCP like machine (570mm on MS CFc's  ) as a care free basher, fly's in wind without worries and would miss it for the easy low level FF blazing (brushed main motor is limited and faulty 4in1). At 292g the low disk loading and agility makes me want to try a 300g X-3D, may be after the next crash to damage the tail drive, it will be the plan... |
, come on.
